Autoglym, only because I bought it all at the VBOA last year, and I am going to clean the car today with it, but I have just bought some Megiuars stuff to clean the chrome exhaust

i dont polish that much, but autoglym does the job for me, honestly i havent tried the others

my brother took his car to the community service car wash round the corner and for £12 they didnt do that well!!

my local BigWash does a decent job for a tenner

Autoglym

As a chauffeur up town driving a Bentley (its not as good as it sounds!) I wouldn't and haven't used anything else for years - its lassies wedding tackle!

Harleys Carnauba wax.......

easy to put on, lasts for a long time, doesnt mark rubber mouldings, doesn't cut the paintwork like autoglym products.....

costs a lot of money, but is worth it

Simoniz 96B2- easier to apply then Mer and gives a deeper shine and you can use it on rubbers too.

I also use Williams F1 Showroom shine far more often - easy to spray on and wipe off, no resistance, no mess and looks fab.

Alas, both no longer sold via Halfords. :(

Bentley, crap? yes I can confirm that as an ex Rolls Royce cars person.

MER? awful stuff.

G3 great.

But the best? Autopolish from Ketts paints in Peterborough. This stuff is like magic and is used in car auctions all over the country for a very quick shine!
